2) Form a hollow in the centre of the mixture, adding in the soya milk and whisking to form a thick batter.

3) Mash up the banana, and mix with melted vegan butter, before adding to the mixing bowl.

4) Mix in with the batter thoroughly, before gently stirring in half of the blueberries.

5) After heating a teaspoon of oil in a large frying pan, add 3 or 4 tablespoons of the batter to the pan (one for each pancake).
